Glitches & Gremlins

Posted at
 

Yeah, got'em. Typographical errors. Fortunately, very few (thanks to a capable editor) and three (sometimes four!) pass-throughs by the author. Once upon a time in a land far, far away this author owned, published, edited, reported, and swept floors in a small weekly newspaper.

We called 'em "glitches & gremlins," the bugs that infested a news story despite all efforts of the editor & the proofreader to find 'em and kill 'em. Usually it would involve the most embarrassing possible situation, like misspelling the Mayor's name, or even worse, his wife's name. But then, how often do you encounter the name "Giampedraglia?" (grin - that's a Basque name; we had lots of those in our rural area.)

So despite my best effort, and Jim7's effort, errors hide and defy being found. They're like cockroaches. Always have been; always will be. So when you see "Tina" in place of "Nita", or a missing quote mark, or any of the other scattered errors, just chuckle and know that its purely human to err; it's your opportunity to be "divine" and forgive.
